The quote 'religion is the opiate of the masses' is attributed to Karl Marx, who wrote 'Die Religion ... ist das Opium des Volkes' in his unpublished work A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy, the introduction of which was published in Marx's journal Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher. The full quote is 'Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.'
